An interesting thing about CG location is the difference in stall characteristic between an aft and a forward CG.. .When CG is forward the stall is very "honest" eg. plenty of pre-stall warning( Buffet). With an aft CG my expierence is that the thing barely gives you any buffet and the stall is more violent.. .. .And now to the Techies: How does this affect the way a modern "computerized" airplane presents it protections vs stall? Is the margin to stall the same in both cases, or could you expect to experience buffet at max AOA on a forward CG aircraft.( eg. Valfa max on an Airbus)?
